At the Cimatori Guest House, an intimate bed and breakfast, there's a quiet, relaxed, help-yourself-to-some-coffee and feel-free-to-change-the-music feel. The rates might be more splurge than save, but with the Duomo in your backyard and Dante’s old stomping grounds across the street, it might be worth the extra euros.

The Cimatori infuses its handful of rooms with lots of coziness. Rooms are on the small side, with basic wooden furniture and beige accents. Wooden ceilings, tasteful art prints and ceramic floors add a hint of rustic charm. All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, a telephone, LCD TV and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are small and fresh in a well-scrubbed way, with white walls and cheerful green tiles.

A continental breakfast is served each morning.

Location: Very central

0.3km to city center

You can't miss Brunelleschi's magnificent dome atop the rosy marble Cathedral. It's the obvious central meeting point and tourist hub of the city. Here, you're in the vicinity of practically everything: the Uffizi Museums, Palazzo della Signoria, the San Lorenzo Market and the Accademia.

The streets surrounding the Duomo cater to visitors, with generic, all-day dining (for a price) and exclusive shopping. The big guns in Italian fashion are located along Via Tornabuoni (technically closer to Santa Maria Novella), with several others on Via Calzaiuoli, Via del Corso. Borgo Albizi, which starts behind the Duomo is more of a boutique street, featuring handmade, original designs in clothing and accessories.

Sleeping in a hotel near the Duomo makes practical sense, as this is the center of Florence, making it simple to pop back to your hotel room at a moment's notice. Fortunately, several of our favorite budget hotels in the city are located in this neighborhood—some are surprisingly affordable given their location. (Also see this blog post about out favorite hotels near the Duomo for under €100.)
